Los Vados Canyon House is unique in the Moab area: an elegant, intimate creekside home in the desert; a remote place of solitude with many of the comforts of home. A place where you can - literally from the door - mountain bike, hike and explore petroglyphs. Or simply unwind by the pool.
Just 15 miles from the town of Moab, Utah, Los Vados Canyon House is next to a creek flowing year-round through a spectacular red rock canyon. Los Vados, "the crossings," refers to the three creek fords required to reach this end-of-the-road retreat.
Los Vados Canyon House is an intimate 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom home surrounded by thousands of acres of untouched red rock cliffs and mesas. Our seven acres sits at the end of a canyon that contains only one other home - a mile away. No road goes through the Los Vados property, though a small herd of cattle amble through twice a year on their way to and from grazing land. To reach Los Vados, you must pass through two locked ranch gates and cross Mill Creek, the only creek in the area running year-round. This (as well as the dirt road leading through the canyon) requires a 4-wheel drive, high clearance vehicle.
Designed by a San Francisco architect and designer and completed in 1998, Los Vados Canyon House is one of only two houses in Utah included in Weekend Houses (Chronicle Books, 2000), which features beautifully designed weekend homes throughout the U.S.
THREE night minimum rental is required. No children under 10. Please see our website's online calendar for availability.
